I have an employee who is rather spiteful and a couple days after she was terminated asked for a work comp claim form...can she legally file after termination? I know its not really valid but I like to keep a clean history with my inc company.

it would sound kind of fishy to anyone, even a lowlife attorney. I would let it go and see what happens because now that she is gone it is between her and the carrier the only questions you will be asked is did you know about it and are there any witnesses. also Workman's comp claims have to made with in 24 hours unless there are mitigating circumstances

Workers comp is intended to cover work related injuries. They may not become apparent immediately so yes, it would be OK to file a claim after being terminated. Whether or not the claim is bogus is an entirely different issue.

Workman comp was created to benefit employers, more so than employees. If someone files a workman comp claim, they are barred from suing you for compensation.
Don't sweat it. The claims people are pretty good at sussing out fraud.

i'm uncertain how that's opposite discrimination. you're speaking approximately 2 diverse subjects -- a million. no longer having the flexibility to artwork further time. 2. An incident with a customer. i'm uncertain how the two impact one yet another. He ought to probable come across the former undertaking via fact evidently like some thing administration could have warned him approximately. yet working further time once you're no longer allowed is a significant undertaking... a super form of criminal duty. If this revenues individual is as embellished as you're saying he's, you will possibly think of he might have a good dating with administration and that they might have spoke to him approximately his failure to report place of work work. examine into, however the discrimination (opposite, or no longer) looks like a stretch.

she can file, and your insurance company may even pay her a few dollars to settle that but it can drag on for a very long time and the fact that she is trying to get something for nothing doesn't affect you at all as far as the insurance is concerned.
